In a sentence: The candidates for the Guild Councillor positions

This year there are 36 candidates vying for 10 Guild Councillor positions at the Curtin Student Guild.

The Guild is responsible for representing the interests of students; they liaise with the University on a number of matters, including proposed alterations to the academic calendar and policies surrounding sexual violence on campus.

Further, they manage many of the food and beverage outlets on campus (like the Tav and Vege Patch) and a number of events on campus (like Market Day, the Queer Disco and End of Sem Bash). And they facilitate the hundred-some clubs at Curtin and run Student Assist—a free, confidential support service that offers students advice on academic, financial, and personal matters.

The elected Councillors will occupy the majority of the Guild Council, which is the governing authority managing the Guild’s affairs.

Voting is important, but the sheer number of candidates to consider may be overwhelming.
